day I provisionally booked 18 spaces with Room2Race in Bangor on 17th July for 2 hours from 4pm to 6pm, cost is £10. I picked this time hopeing that its not to late for anyone with plans that night and not to early for the lazy bastards who cant get out of bed. We could meet before somewhere and head there as a convoy, there is plenty of parking space right outside the door, off the road.
Thats usually a slack time for them but they have my number and will contact me if there is another group wanting to use the facilities at that time, thats the only way I could guanrantee they will keep our booking without having to pay a deposit of £5 per person booked.
If everyone going is prepared to pay a £5 deposit before 10th July, I can exclusively book it for the number of deposits given, guaranteeing our slot.
I would be prepared to collect deposits via paypal or other means, they cant do electronic transactions there so monies would need to be in a week before to post a cheque to them. All deposits are non refundable.
They want me to email a list of names of all drivers 2 days before the event so they can have the system set up with our names allocated to a simulator, so we literally arrive and start to drive.
Post what you all think about the deposit payments please, personally I think its a good idea and would save disappointment for all going. I am thick skinned as fuck so dont be worrying about me being offended at your thoughts lol. There is always the possibility of sharing a simulator but if we are organised then we can all race.
